Next Norwich City manager odds: Wilshere remains firm odds-on favourite
Norwich City parted ways with manager Johannes Hoff Thorup, after a terrible run of form so the Canaries will be on the lookout for a replacement ahead of an important summer. Jack Wilshere took the reins for the last few games to the end of the Championship season, with the possibility of the former Arsenal midfielder taking over permanently according to the odds. talkSPORT BET new customer welcome offer: Get £30 in free bets when you bet £10! talkSPORT BET – Bet £10 get £30 in free bets – CLAIM HERE* Wilshere is amongst the candidates to be a permanent replacement and would make a great bet while he was initially installed as high as 5/1 but is now into 1/2! The former midfielder scored from one of the best build-up plays for Arsenal against the Canaries and could now be a successful appointment if the final few games go the right way. A turnaround wouldn’t be too surprising as the English interim manager has long been interested in the coaching set ups. Norwich were knocking on the door of a play off bid not too long ago. But now with four losses in five and a worse run beyond that, they have slumped to 14th and the club have opted for a turnaround sooner than later. Which could suggest they want a change before the season is up to prepare better for the summer. Gary O’Neil has been smashed in over the past week from 12/1 to 3/1. Will Still on the other hand went from seeing some interest for the job to being a huge 25/1 punt. Others who’ve emerged into contention recently include Steve Cooper, who’s been without a job since November 2024 when sacked as Leicester boss. That’s since proven to be a very tough job as Ruud van Nistelrooy has also struggled at the King Power since, seeing them relegated back into the Championship. Norwich have a wide array of potential candidates but it’s looking likely the former Arsenal midfielder is the one who could be classed as the next permanent manager.
